Social networking site Facebook said on Monday that it had removed 687 pages and accounts that were linked to people associated with the Congress party. In a tweet, the Congress said, “This is to clarify no official pages run by INC have been taken down. Reacting to news of the take down of pages, Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari said, “We would need to verify the veracity of this. Whether there are any Facebook pages that are linked to us which are being exorcised in any manner. Facebook also said that it was removing 103 pages, groups and accounts, for inauthentic behaviour, as part of a network that originated in Pakistan.
